Hermopoli ovest 

This Fayum portrait, housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, depicts a young woman adorned with a wreath of flowers. The painting is a classic example of the Fayum portrait style, a tradition of Roman-Egyptian portraiture that flourished in the first few centuries CE. These portraits were often painted on wooden panels and used as mummy portraits, placed over the deceased's faces in their tombs. The portrait is characterized by its realistic style and vivid colors, which capture the individual features of the deceased. The presence of the two falcons flanking the woman is a symbol of protection and a testament to Egyptian belief in the afterlife.
